Chapter 626 Chang'an Situation
The situation in Chang'an is also very serious, and it can be seen from the troops stationed outside the city that it is not peaceful.
Outside the city of Chang'an, a large number of troops were stationed, all of which were the elite forces of the Tang Dynasty, but now they were all gathered outside the city of Chang'an, ready to defend Chang'an at any time.
There are many soldiers on the city wall, all wearing armor and helmets, patrolling around the clock, ready to go out at any time.
However, Chang'an is the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty after all, and the elites of the Tang Dynasty are all placed here, and the public security environment is much better than other places, at least at the door, there is no charging fees.
Entering the city, although it is much more deserted than in the past, all kinds of shops are open, and you can see some people and vendors on the streets.
Of course, in addition to the common people and traders, Zhuo Yun also saw a lot of alien races, as well as a lot of patrol teams.
Xiaolongnu and Xiaoxue saw the store opened in Chang'an, their eyes lit up, they had already heard Zhuo Yun talk about the situation in Chang'an, and they were full of interest in Chang'an's goods.
This is the case with women, who have a soft spot for shopping, and no woman has been able to escape such an attraction since ancient times.
Anything you don't like, at most, you will suppress your interests and hide your nature.
Zhuo Yun didn't solve the gang problem in the first place, after all, he also needed time to understand the situation, coupled with the pleading of the two women, he decided to take the two of them shopping first to satisfy their curiosity and wishes.
The three of them walked around Chang'an, according to the meaning of Xiaolongnu and Xiaoxue, first strolled, and then found a place to taste the food of Chang'an.
Soon, the three of them found a jewelry store, which was filled with all kinds of exquisite jewelry, the only bad thing was that there was no customer in it, it was relatively deserted, and the shopkeeper sat there with a sad face.
Seeing the three of them walk in, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, especially when he saw Xiaolongnu and Xiaoxue, he was even more happy.
Jewelry is sold to women, there are women into the store, the business is basically half, especially these two women are like fairies down to earth, people look pleasing to the eye, if you boast a few words, the business can definitely be done.
And judging from the clothes of Zhuo Yun and the others, they are definitely not ordinary people, if such a guest buys, it must be a big business.
The shopkeeper hurriedly got up to greet him: "The three guest officers, please, I have all the jewelry here." ”
Zhuo Yun nodded, and Xiaolongnu and Xiaoxue couldn't wait to come to the counter and start choosing various accessories.
The shopkeeper introduced diligently on the side: "The two ladies are naturally beautiful, if they are paired with these accessories, they are simply fairy goddesses." ”
Everyone likes to be praised by others, and Xiaolongnu and Xiaoxue are no exception, they are laughing from ear to ear.
And they have never known the concept of money, they only know how to buy it, and after a while, they have already picked out a lot of jewelry, so that the shopkeeper's mouth is about to smile crookedly, and they keep praising the two women for their good eyes.
At this moment, Zhuo Yun waved his hand to let the shopkeeper pass, although the shopkeeper was not happy, he could only come to Zhuo Yun: "Guest officer, what do you command?" ”
Zhuo Yun smiled and asked, "I first arrived in Chang'an, I don't know what to pay attention to?" ”
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked out of the door, and after finding that there was no one, he whispered: "If the guest officer has just come to Chang'an, then you must pay attention, you must keep your eyes open, and you can't enter the black shop." ”
"Black shop?" Zhuo Yun pretended to be puzzled.
The shopkeeper lowered his voice again: "It's the shops opened by various gangs, and they dominate the people who have just arrived in Chang'an." ”
Zhuo Yun nodded, and the shopkeeper said: "And don't go out at night, don't look at Chang'an It's okay during the day, but it's very dangerous at night, remember not to go out at night." ”
Zhuo Yun nodded: "Thank you for telling the shopkeeper." ”
As for the danger at night that the shopkeeper said, it must be that these aliens and gangs can be unscrupulous at night, and he just wants to see the situation at night.
Soon, the two girls were selected, and they each bought a lot of jewelry, which made the shopkeeper's heart happy, and it was really a big business.
After settling the account, the shopkeeper quietly told Zhuo Yun: "Hurry up and get out of here, it's best to go to the inner city, be careful of being targeted." ”
Zhuo Yun sneered in his heart, the last thing he was afraid of was being targeted, just see what these alien races and gangs in Chang'an are doing.
As soon as Zhuo Yun and the three of them left the jewelry store, two young men entered the jewelry store and looked at the shopkeeper with a sneer: "Who are those three just now?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I saw the two masters, who were from the inner city just now, and brought their wives over to buy a few pieces of jewelry." ”
A young man sneered: "What jewelry did you buy and how much did you pay?" ”
The shopkeeper's face changed slightly: "I bought two pieces, both of which are worthless things." ”
"Really?"
The young man's face sneered even more: "How can I see that they bought a lot of money, and finally paid nearly a thousand taels of silver." ”
As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, the villain should die." ”
The young man smiled: "Dare to lie to us, do you know the consequences." ”
The shopkeeper took out a hundred taels of silver and respectfully handed it to the young man: "My lord, the villain is a small business, and please raise your noble hand." ”
The young man happily took the silver, put it away, and said coldly: "Remember, if you dare to lie to us again in the future, you won't open this shop." ”
The young man departed, and after a while, three more men came to the jewelry store, and the shopkeeper took out another hundred taels of silver before sending them away.
In a short period of time, five waves of people entered the jewelry store and extorted the shopkeeper, so that the shopkeeper's income of nearly 1,000 taels was only a few dozen taels.
This made the shopkeeper want to cry without tears, but he couldn't help it, these were people from nearby gangs, and he couldn't afford to mess with them at all.
Everything that happened in the store naturally fell into Zhuo Yun's eyes, and seeing these gangs so blatant, Zhuo Yun's heart was also angry.
And he already knew that there were many people following him, including aliens, who really planned to blatantly pick quarrels and provoke trouble on the street.
Zhuo Yun sneered in his heart, just look at how arrogant you dare to be?
Through a simple exploration of Chang'an City, he now knows that the current situation in Chang'an can be divided into two parts: the inner city and the outer city.
The inner city is the territory of the Tang Empire, where the princes and ministers of the Tang Dynasty live, and the palace of the Tang Dynasty is also in the inner city, guarded by heavy soldiers.
The strong men of Datang are all gathered in the inner city, so the inner city is relatively safe, all controlled by Datang, and there are no alien races and gang forces.
Of course, there are also some dignitaries and nobles, and the rich and noble live in the inner city, but after all, the inner city has limited space and cannot live too many people, so more people live in the outer city.
Presumably, most of the rich and noble people who came from all over the Tang Dynasty lived in the outer city, but the environment in the outer city was not good.
Because the outer city is too chaotic, many alien races and various gang forces are in the outer city, and the people in the outer city are oppressed.
But even so, it is much stronger than other places in Datang, at least Datang's patrols have not stopped.
No wonder the jewelry store shopkeeper let himself into the inner city, it seems that the inner city is indeed relatively safe, and it is a forbidden place for alien races and gang forces.
Zhuo Yun walked in the direction of the inner city, seeing that the gate of the inner city was already in sight, and the people of the many gangs following behind them were in a hurry.
They knew that Zhuo Yun was a big fat sheep, and if Zhuo Yun was allowed to enter the inner city, they would miss a good opportunity and could only watch.
However, they can't be blatant here, after all, the elite army of the Tang Dynasty at the gate of the inner city is not vegetarian, if they kidnap Zhuo Yun and the three of them here, even if they provoke at the gate of the inner city, these elite of the Tang Dynasty will not care.
The elite soldiers at the gate of the city saw these gang members appear not far away, and they all raised their weapons in their hands, and the threat was obvious.
At this moment, a gang youth appeared beside Zhuo Yun, suddenly crashed into Zhuo Yun, and then fell to the side, holding one leg and screaming loudly: "Ah, hit me to death!" ”
When this young man appeared, Zhuo Yun had already noticed that he could get close, naturally Zhuo Yun did it intentionally, and he also wanted to see what these gang forces planned to do.
It's just that I didn't expect the other party to take such a way, this is a blatant touch of porcelain.
The young man seemed to have collided with Zhuo Yun just now, but in fact, the two sides had no contact at all, and everything was directed and acted by the young man.
Touching the porcelain on himself, Zhuo Yun could only show a wry smile, he followed the other party's wishes, and hurriedly came to the young man's side with concern and asked, "Little brother, it's all my fault for walking carelessly, are you okay?" ”
As soon as the young man heard Zhuo Yun's words and knew that there was a play, he pretended to be in pain: "My leg seems to have been broken." ”
Several young people who followed Zhuo Yun came over, first looked at Xiaolongnu and Xiaoxue, and then accused Zhuo Yun one after another: "What's the matter with you?" Don't you walk with long eyes? He actually knocked someone off his leg. ”
Zhuo Yun showed panic: "What should I do?" ”
Someone said angrily: "Don't send it to Langzhong quickly." ”
There is also a humanitarian: "There is a medicine hall not far away, send him over quickly." ”
Zhuo Yun was embarrassed: "A few little brothers, it's my fault today, I should have gone together, but I really have something urgent, or I should compensate!" ”
"How can this work, Lang Zhong has not been diagnosed yet, who knows how much it will cost?" Naturally, they didn't do it, their purpose was to prevent Zhuo Yun from entering the inner city.
Zhuo Yun showed embarrassment: "In this way, I will pay 1,000 taels as the treatment fee for this little brother, you can see if it will work." ”
As soon as he said this, he obviously felt that several young people were short of breath, and they were about to take out a thousand taels casually, this was no longer a fat sheep, but a super fat sheep.
"No, if you don't go today, don't blame us for being rude." Someone threatened on the spot that between watermelon and sesame seeds, they would naturally choose watermelon.
Zhuo Yun pretended to show a frightened expression: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" ”
The two carried the young man who pretended to be injured, and several others stood behind Zhuo Yun, full of threats, afraid that Zhuo Yun would escape.
The group walked towards the outside of the city, saying that they were going to find Langzhong, but in fact, they knew very well in their hearts that they wanted to carry Zhuo Yun away from the inner city.
Zhuo Yun sneered in his heart, you think you have picked up a golden mountain, but you don't know that you are picking up a fierce tiger.
